mimosa
Fizzy breakfast cocktail
Mimosa names several things united by delicacy or sensitivity.
The mimosa plant (also called sensitive plant) has feathery leaves that fold inward when touched.
Mimosa trees bear similar foliage with fluffy, fragrant flower clusters.
A mimosa is also a brunch cocktail of champagne and orange juice, named for the flower's color: We ordered mimosas with our eggs Benedict.
